Abstract: A fluid pipe (1) is monitored using a distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) fibre (10) provided within pipe (1). The DAS fibre (10) is coupled at one end to a light emitter (10) and a light detector (102). The light emitter (101) emits light pulses into the DAS fibre. The light detector (102) detects backscattered light so as to provide an indication of the vibration experienced by each section of the DAS fibre (10) and thus of vibration characteristic of particular pipe events including leaks or the lie. The DAS fibre (10) in a pipe (1) can also be used to locate the route of a buried pipe (1) by successively tamping the ground surface at a number of locations A-E in the vicinity of the suspected route of the pipe (1) and comparing the tamping vibrations detected from each location A-E.
